Retailers across the country are starting to gear up for the Christmas Season. Despite media attention on the struggle of local UK high streets, many shop owners are beginning to introduce extra and seasonal stock to entice customers into their stores in an attempt to sell as many goods as they can throughout the next 3 months; especially aiming at those shoppers who like to start buying for Christmas early!
With a greater footfall of customers throughout the months of November to January and the demand to carry an increased amount of stock, for many retail businesses the Christmas season accounts for a substantial amount of their core business sales across the whole year. With this in mind it is imperative that companies effectively prepare for the season so that they are able to maximize on their sale potential.
